. What I consider problematic is not only when gambling cause you financial problem, but if gambling is interfering with individual's relationships, job, mental or physical health or any area of their life then gambling is problematic. So what about you guys what do you think? You contributions matters.

I think that once gambling starts affecting your financial life all those other attributes that were mentioned in your post follows; first you’d start to stress your mental health and if care is not talked about it might translate into your jobs.

So for me, I think gambling is becoming problematic when the gambler starts to stress themselves over it - the moment you stop having fun just know that you’ve moved into the problematic phase of gambling and should probably stop or reduce the intensity of your gambling habit.
I agree with you, although everyone has different financial backgrounds, the negative impacts that arise from gambling will likely still lead to some of the things that have been mentioned. When the pleasure in gambling has disappeared, and when you are thinking about chasing losses due to financial difficulties, it is a sign to stop immediately, and it is no longer enough to just reduce the intensity of gambling. In the meantime, find pleasure in other activities, forget about the defeat, and continue life as usual. Don't let gambling affect your work, and make family relationships chaotic. If this is ignored, it is certain that various bad possibilities will occur.
